Family Constellation
Book • 1961
Walter Toman's "Family Constellation" is a seminal work exploring the impact of birth order on personality development.
Based on a decade-long study of hundreds of families, the book details how sibling position influences individual characteristics and behaviors.
Toman's research suggests that birth order significantly shapes personality traits and relational patterns within families.
The book's findings have been replicated across various cultures and continue to inform family therapy and relationship dynamics.
However, it's important to note that Toman's work is not without its critics, with some arguing that it oversimplifies the complexities of family interactions.
